Thanks Millward. With her eyes, we think she has my shape and hubbys colouring as hers are blue. But I know they can change up to a year so we'll see if they stay that colour. My mum gave me some pics of when I was born and she does look a bit like me, has my dark hair, but OH's mum showed us a pic of him as a baby and she has his nose and mouth. Its funny trying to decide what is from who when she's so tiny, you cant really tell at this stage! It's fun to try though
Fingers crossed I feel the same about ours when the time comes. I'm really worried I won't be interested but I hope I take to being a mum like you have.

Sounds like you're really in love - so happy for you.
It was EVERYWHERE twice 
he asleep now but just hope he is better tomorrow. Thoughts of swine flu and allsorts in my head but he is ok in himself! Cold is clearing and cough is a bit chesty but it could be teething too 
Just a few bits to do tomorrow and then chill
She's sleeping in our room in her moses basket so is only really in nursery for changing. Have posted a few pics on fb of Holly though, will try and put some up on here too for those ladies who dont have access to fb.
Breastfeeding went terribly so we are now on formula. I was feeling a lot of pressure to bf and always said I would give it a go but it just didnt work for us. She struggled to latch and when she did she would end up falling asleep and took a lot of poking and prodding to wake up and only take another two mouthfuls and would then be asleep. It also caused her to go jaundice because she was dehydrated, so we then had to supplement with formula which made bf even harder as she wailed every time I put her to breast as it was so hard for her to get anything and she just wasnt getting enough. In the end I broke down in tears in front of a very umsympathetic paediatrician (fortunately not mine!) who basically told me breast is best and made me feel worse, but suggested I try expressing and bottle feeding. In the end though we decided to just stick to formula and since I made that decision I have felt so much better and she has been so much happier. I felt like the only moments I was having with her were horrible bf times and i was dreading them, and daddy was getting all the nice cuddle times. Now we share it all and it is fantastic. I just hate the judgement for not bf - the aghast looks on nurses faces when we told them we'd switched to formula! Some were really good and just said its whatever works for us, but you could tell some were tutting behind my back.
Neko, my doc says he thinks the 3rd will be too late for my c-sec and wants to do it on the 30th too so I will find out on the 29th. It's actually a nice date : 30-12-2010 as they all add up to 3!

Stunning photos! I'm glad you've figured out what works for you and your family. That's what being a mom is all about. It's good to listen to others and take any meaningful advice you can but at the end of the day it's your decision and what's best for you guys. I'm sure you're going to be a great mom!
Merry Christmas to you too Naomi and Leanne. LO's stay put for now!!!!
